Cindy Sheehan and Willie Nelson pair up for Troops Home Fast

Cindy Sheehan is going to stop eating and we are supposed to care. She already has "commitments from several nutcases who also will not be eating. Among the non-eaters will be Danny Glover, Dick Gregory, Dolores Huerta and Willie Nelson. WHOOOOA!!! Willie Nelson? OMG! OMFG!!! That's just too bizarre!

I have always liked Willie Nelson's music. I always will. But while I always thought that he was a little odd, I never thought he was part of the hate-America crowd.

His recently released song "Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly (Fond Of Each Other)", was written about 20 years ago but only released on 2/14/2006. The release date was exactly dead center of Brokeback Mountain's 90-day worldwide rollout and three weeks before the Oscar ceremonies. (And no, I'm sure as hell not saying Willie's gay, although the pigtails have fueled more than a few jokes.) It was just good marketing.

In April of 2006, Cindy spent a few days staying at the guesthouse on Willie's estate in Maui source. Willie and his wife Annie introduced Crazy Cindy onstage at the Maui Film Festival source, when Cindy was in islands to make some paid appearances source.

He wears his hair in pig-tails, he promotes biodiesel, he writes songs about cowboys in love with each other, he doesn't pay his taxes, he smokes a LOT of dope and he thinks Kinky Friedman should be the Governor of Texas. That may qualify Willie Nelson as weird, but it doesn't make him "bad".

IMHO, when Willie stands with Crazy Cindy and her gang (Nancy Pelosi, Lynn Woolsey, Jesse Jackson, Jane Fonda, Dennis Kucinich, Barbara Lee, Cynthia McKinney, Michael Moore and all the others), THAT makes him not only "bad", but "wrong" as well.

There is a difference between opposition to a war and dancing on the edge of treason. When Willie Nelson joins Crazy Cindy, Hanoi Jane and Michael Moore in the Watermelon Posse (Green on the outside, Red on the inside); he's crossed a line. Willie, your heart's as big as all outdoors, but your brain is as fuzzy as a bunny's tail and I'll buy another of your CDs right after I buy anything with Hanoi Jane's name on it.

Cindy's brain-dead comment:

"I will be starting an open-ended hunger strike, called Troops Home Fast, on July 4th. We will start the fast in Washington DC, in front of the White House, and then move to Camp Casey."

Good for you Cindy, Lord knows you need to shed a few pounds. So you're not going to eat until the troops come home? Promise? On the Fourth of July, I will be first grilling and then devouring, a 1.5 inch-thick ribeye steak, topped with sauteed mushrooms, with side dishes of cold potato salad and steaming hot corn-on-the-cob! With every bite, I'll be thinking of you, Cindy.
